They can either wear their P.E. kit or they can bring in something else on the day. However, due to the timing, the children will not be able to change back into their school uniform before being collected at 12.10pm. Therefore, if they choose to wear their P.E. kit, please ensure they return it on the following Monday, thank you. Also, for these 3 weeks we will have our golden time on Thursday. *
